Javier Chapparo of the Austin
Symphony tells Eric Haffner
about the parts of a violin
during a demonstration conducted
by Austin Symphony musicians in
a 1987 Kerrville Performing Arts
Society program. The entire
Kerrville community became
involved with this project in
providing local children the
opportunity to fully appreciate
the miracle of making music; a
gift that they would indeed
carry into their adult lives.

In 2004, KPAS
began the tradition of presenting the
ballet, The Nutcracker, as a holiday
highlight in the hill country. Professional
ballet companies from Russia, Colorado,
Texas, and California have delighted
audiences at the Cailloux Theater with this
ever-popular magical experience. Over 100+
local dancers have had the opportunity to be
selected to perform with the professional
troupes. Above, students performed as Bon-Bons
while two of Kerrville’s most generous
volunteers, Sue Steele and Leatrice Nixon,
were recognized as Mother Ginger. For the
4th annual presentation in November 2009,
KPAS will celebrate the official opening of
the Christmas season by joining other
Kerrville organizations for holiday
festivities including the lighting of the
Kerr County Courthouse, the Downtown Holiday
Lighted Parade and the arrival of Santa
Claus.

their 2007 performance was in
the renovated audition, The
Kathleen C. Cailloux Theater.
